They further pointed out that Cincinnati and Charlotte are also queen cities.
Steinfeld had also gotten other affectionate nicknames from fans following her engagement to Josh Allen. These include “Queen of Buffalo Button,” and “The First Lady of the Buffalo Bills.” Furthermore, she got the nickname, “Queen of Buffalo,” which according to OK! Magazine, she has reportedly embraced.
Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld first confirmed their engagement in November 2024. They announced it via an Instagram post captioned with the date of their engagement, November 11. Previously, the couple went Instagram official in July 2024, with a post captioned “Onward.”
The Buffalo Bills quarterback had earlier gifted the Arcane star a custom jacket, with the lettering Mrs. Allen on its backside. In an interview with the Associated Press, he credited Steinfeld as his “morale” and “support,” and a big reason he was an MVP in the 2024 NFL season. “When I get home, she’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter. She’s just the best,” Allen added.
